Early the next morning, students from both schools gathered at the school gate.
Yaga and Gakuganji stood in front of them, but their expressions were a bit off.
"Teacher Yaga, what's wrong? Why haven't we started yet?" Genji asked Yaga, having noticed something was off.
Yaga didn't answer Genji, but instead said to everyone:
"The first round of the exchange event is a team battle, but the rules are a bit different from previous years."
Different rules? The group was a bit confused.
"Hmm, this person will introduce the specific rules to you."
After saying this, someone suddenly appeared from behind the group.
"I'll be the one to introduce the rules to you all."
The person who arrived was none other than Tsukumo Yuki.
"Why are you here?" Genji was a bit surprised. Knowing this woman, she might not even stay in the country for a month a year, let alone spend time doing actual work.
"Well, you still haven't answered my question from last time."
"Uh (⊙﹏⊙), you're still remembering that absurd question of yours?"
Tsukumo Yuki chuckled upon hearing this, then walked to the front of the group.
"Hello everyone, big sister here is named Tsukumo Yuki, and I'm the specially added referee for this exchange event. So, without further ado, the first thing is—what kind of women do you like!"
Silence~, this was the most accurate portrayal of the scene.
"Doesn't this woman feel awkward?" everyone at the scene thought almost simultaneously, but even Zenin Shi, who was used to being arrogant and domineering, didn't dare to say it out loud.
It wasn't for anything else, just because the woman in front of them was the only Special Grade in the current Jujutsu World. If you round it up, it wouldn't be wrong to call her the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer right now. Zenin Shi naturally didn't have the guts. It's like if Godzilla danced breakdance in front of you, wouldn't you be afraid?
"Ahem, Special Grade Tsukumo, you can start explaining the rules now." Gakuganji coughed and reminded Tsukumo Yuki.
"Alright, it seems everyone is a bit shy." Clearly, the group's silence didn't make this woman feel even a hint of awkwardness. Tsukumo Yuki continued:
"The first round of the team battle is still primarily about exorcising Cursed Spirits. A large number of Grade 4 to Grade 1 Cursed Spirits have been released into the area. Grade 4 Cursed Spirits are worth one point each, Grade 3 are 5 points, grade 2 are 10 points, and Grade 1 are 50 points, but there is only one in the entire area."
"At the same time, the rule that winning immediately after exorcising a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit has been cancelled, since there are several students present who can take care of a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit with a wave of their hand."
As Tsukumo Yuki said this, her gaze swept over Genji and the others, then she continued:
"The following rules have been added to this competition: 1. Eliminating personnel from the opposing school earns points equivalent to exorcising 10 Grade 2 Cursed Spirits, which is 100 points."
"2. Every team has one'Special Value Member'. Once eliminated, their team will have points deducted equivalent to exorcising ten Grade 1 Cursed Spirits, which is 500 points. Moreover, besides the referees, no one knows the identity of the Special Value Member, including the Special Value Member themselves."
"3. Every ten minutes, we will broadcast the location of a random competitor."
"4. Various traps have been set up in the area. Once triggered, the person who triggered them will be punished, including point deductions, being forced to stay in place for 10 minutes, or even direct elimination."
"That concludes the new rules for this competition."
A headache! This was the true thought of the Kyoto Jujutsu High students at this moment. Although the newly added competition rules were largely to ensure that the winning chances of both sides remained basically balanced, after all, the other side still had two members with little combat ability.
But this way, their original battle plan was completely disrupted. After all, they had originally planned to split the 10 people into two groups: 2 to exorcise Cursed Spirits, and the remaining 8 to stall Gojo Satoru and the others, since they had more people on their side.
But now this plan wouldn't work. Once the 5 people stalling were eliminated, it would be no different from losing, and no one could guarantee whether the Special Value Member would be among these 8 people.
Genji's side, however, didn't have much of a reaction. After all, his original arrangement had already taken all team members into account. The first rule didn't have much impact, but the other two new rules were a bit troublesome.
"Take it one step at a time. For the second rule, as long as we ensure no teammates are eliminated, we'll be fine. We have confidence in that. It's the third rule that's a bit uncontrollable," Genji silently calculated the three rules in his heart.
Moreover, Genji had a somewhat bad premonition that the third rule was likely aimed at them.
"Alright, both teams return to your respective starting points. The competition will officially begin in 30 minutes," announced Tsukumo Yuki.
Starting Point.
"That weak and arrogant guy is named Zenin Shi, the child of one of the elders of the Zenin Family. His Cursed Technique is 'Acceleration curse Technique,' a weakened version of one of the Zenin Family's hereditary techniques, 'Projection Sorcery.' It can significantly increase the user's speed. The technique is not bad, but it's a pity the user is a stubborn and arrogant bastard. That guy can be said to be a pure person of the Zenin Family."
Gojo Satoru told the others what he knew about the people on the other side.
"And that squinty-eyed guy who looks a bit like Geto but is even more annoying is named Kamo Mine, from the Kamo Family. I don't know which Kamo produced that kid. His Cursed Technique is called 'Blood Spider,' which uses his own blood to form a giant spider shikigami. His strength is decent."
"By the way, Satoru, why do you know so much about those two?" Genji asked, a bit curious.
"I saw them at a gathering of The Big Three Families when I was a kid. At that time, the idiot named Zenin Shi wanted to challenge me to establish his authority, but he was instantly defeated by me," Gojo Satoru said disdainfully. If he hadn't seen these two again, he probably wouldn't have thought of them for the rest of his life.
"As for the team leader named Maekage Ken, I have heard of him," Genji took over the conversation, speaking about the intelligence he had gathered.
"He seems to be a genius discovered directly from the public by The Higher-Ups. It seems he was directly recruited by Principal Gakuganji under the instruction of The Higher-Ups. His Cursed Technique is unclear."
"His Cursed Technique is to use Cursed Energy to generate sword-type Cursed Tools. The quantity and quality limits are not low, but the generated Cursed Tools don't contain curses and don't have any special functions. And hearing from the old man at home, this guy seems to have also learned the abilities of the New Shadow Style."
Gojo Satoru suddenly interjected, supplementing Genji's intelligence.
"But for us, it's all about the same. After all, we are the strongest," Gojo Satoru said confidently.
Geto Suguru and Genji looked at each other and, just like Gojo Satoru, revealed confident smiles.
"Attention everyone, there is one minute left until the competition begins," Tsukumo Yuki's voice rang out at this moment.
"Let's go." As the countdown ended, the group walked into the forest.
--- In the monitoring room, watching the movements of both sides on the screen, Tsukumo Yuki nodded with satisfaction.
"As expected, just as Mr. Yaga and Principal Gakuganji speculated, both sides chose to disperse their actions."
It's just that compared to Tokyo's side, where grouping was for higher efficiency and to protect teammates, the Kyoto side simply separated completely and acted individually. It was clearly because they were afraid of encountering Gojo Satoru and the others, which would lead to their side being wiped out in one go.
Gakuganji obviously noticed this too. He was a bit dissatisfied with his side's strategy of showing weakness without a fight, but unable to think of a better method, he had no choice but to remain silent, adhering to the principle that silence is golden.
"Alright, now please, both of you, decide on the'Special Value Member' for your school's team," Tsukumo Yuki said to the two.
Yaga and the other thought for a moment, and submitted their choices: Maekage Ken and Shoko.
"Oh," Tsukumo Yuki was a bit surprised by Yaga's choice.
"Principal Gakuganji's choice is not unexpected; it's the strongest among the Kyoto contestants. But Mr. Yaga, why did you choose Shoko?"
"Rest assured, that kid Genji will definitely protect Shoko better than he protects himself," Yaga said calmly. Having been married before, he naturally wouldn't have missed the spark between Genji and Shoko.
"Is that so? Then let's wait and see." After speaking, Tsukumo Yuki immediately took out a deck of cards: "Next, let's decide the first batch of people whose locations will be announced." Tsukumo Yuki's face was full of excitement, making one suspect that her purpose in attending this exchange event was just to have fun.
